Probably a stretch of the subway running as an elevated train. I
remember that we left our car there while my husband and I ate at
Sweets and that we came back to find that someone had taken the air
out of all four tires. We had to call the AAA and wait until two guys
came and got air into the tires again. We were lucky that the tires
were not slashed.
